need it most, and she will

robust education made the
difference in my life that al-

you today,” she said. “I’m
committed to education as a
vision for greater social eq-
uity and for close to 25 years
I’ve worked with young
children to support that vi-
sion of education. Now I’m
excited to serve on the LCC
board with that same vision
for all types of students who
are looking to develop their
potential.”
